I hope the new the spectral mounts are a faction reward. I really hope we get the Green/Beryl fire hawk as a 125th or 150th mount reward, at least then it would be something really unique and outstanding as a reward.

I have 150 mounts currently, and actively farm 5 mounts. There are 3 holiday mounts I am missing and I only have 1 TCG mount.

I believe when an achievement is first implemented it should be hard, nearly out of reach. It rewards those that have already invested the time and effort to complete the achievement in advance, and gives the handful of players per server a brief time in the spotlight to show off their hard earned reward.

It's also worth noting they are adding quite a few new mounts this next patch which will give many collectors a jump in their total.

I agree, yes. I think 150 should be implemented with 4.3, I'm currently at 145 and I have a) 0 holiday mounts (none from brewfest, no rocket, no horsemen), b) missing 3 raid meta-achievement ones (ICC25, BoT/BWD and Firelands), c) no rare spawn mounts (TLPD, PST, poseidus), etc etc. I'm also missing the Vial of the Sands which I can't be bothered to buy, Ashes and Attumen's horse which I farm every week and the only TCG mount I have is Spectral Tiger. I also only have 4 Gladiator titles on the paladin I collect mounts on.

Disagree.
I have 147 mounts, and i only have 1 TCG mount. I also started that char in wrath, so i dont have any discontinued mounts.
It just takes a LOT of dedication.

dedication, luck and a decent raid or arena comp, tbh
I have 136, but don't have any of the raid-specific mounts like invincible, mimi's head, crusader warhorse, horde wolf, etc, or any of the gladiator drakes

Last I counted, per faction, Horde can get 163 mounts and alliance can get 161 mounts without purchase of ANY TCG mounts. But that included every rare mount in-game outside of the 2 in Firelands. Also included all 3 rare spawn mounts. No class specific mounts or discontinued mounts.

I really think they should release a 125 one, and hell they could do a 150 one and that one would have some prestige for a bit. But I hope they don't skip 125 because 150 is still out of reach for a lot of people.

Because 100 wasn't out of reach when it came out? When the 100 achievement came out, it was out of reach of EVERYONE without TCG mounts.

Whatever the numbers are, it will need to be one that is achieveable solely in-game.
It would need to exclude tcg, store, and additional service (like RaF) rewards to be deemed fair.
Also currently obtainable, and continuing to be available mounts, so excluding those later removed (black/plauged etc).
Your ability to earn those rewards should not be determined by your ability to spend more real money than someone else.
If you can't earn it from just what you can do within your monthly subscription to the game then it should not need to count towards any total.
I will agree however that getting at least 125 I am sure is doable within the above conditions, if not considerably more.

I agree that an implementation of achievements for 125 and 150 mounts would be great, seeing that the pet achievements were revamped to that for Cataclysm. Some new achievements and rewards would give mount collectors a new goal to aim for.
